How To Decorate For Christmas Simply Shabby Chic?

Modern farmhouse style at the beach— so simply shabby chic!

We’re heading west right after Christmas, and I can’t wait! Las Vegas and Los Angeles, here we come!

That’s why this year I’m only decorating with one tree instead of the two or three full size trees that I usually put up for the holidays.

This tree is my little beach house tree.

It’s only a little taller than me!

I love how shabby chic and petite this tree is. A 5.5 ft Balsam fir that’s so easy to set up.

Easy to carry and small enough to store back in its original box. You do have to string lights on it, but I don’t mind. Seeing the string on the lights adds to its purposeful shabby style!

White Monochromatic Color Scheme

I opted for a monochromatic color scheme when I was choosing this year’s ornaments.

Last year I bought new ornaments that I used on this same tree in our Aprés Ski theme. Although I love last year’s decorations, I really wanted this year’s Christmas ornaments to match the new furniture and decor in our living room.

I already had the creme color Hearth and Hand ornamnets with the little x’s that match the tree skirt. Then I came across these clear and pearlized ornaments at Target in their mix and match ornament section for only $1.00 a ball.

I knew this was my opportunity to change up my style at a really affordable price. Target does it again!
